Objective: To investigate relationship between anthropometric values of premature babies with their's glucose, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin at birth and on day 15.
Methods: We analyzed fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin levels at birth and on day 15 in babies born prematurely between 24 and 37 weeks, and who did not have serious problems aside from prematurity at birth.
Results: Fasting glucose, insulin, leptin and ghrelin values of babies at birth and on day 15 were significantly lower than postprandial values (all p values p < 0.001). There were positive correlations between the mean insulin, leptin, and ghrelin levels with the gestational age, birth weight, body mass index, head circumference of babies at birth, and anthropometric values on day 15 (all r values > 0.400, all p values < 0.05). Fasting glucose, leptin, and ghrelin values of mothers birth were significantly lower than post-prandial values (all p values p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The positive correlations between the insulin, leptin, and ghrelin values of babies at birth with gestational age and anthropometric values suggest that both hormones play important roles in fetal and neonatal growth and development.

Association Between Four Non-Insulin-Based Insulin Resistance Indices and the Risk of Post-Stroke Depression.
Clin Interv Aging
January 2025
Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Huai'an Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Huai'an, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Research suggests that insulin resistance (IR) is associated with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and depression. The use of insulin-based IR assessments is complicated. Therefore, we explored the relationship between four non-insulin-based IR indices and post-stroke depression (PSD).

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Liaoning Electric Power Center Hospital, Shenyang 110000, Liaoning Province, China.
Background: At present, the existing internal medicine drug treatment can alleviate the high glucose toxicity of patients to a certain extent, to explore the efficacy of laparoscopic jejunoileal side to side anastomosis in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the report is as follows.
Aim: To investigate the effect of jejunoileal side-to-side anastomosis on metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 78 patients with T2DM who were treated jejunoileal lateral anastomosis.

Department of Endocrinology, Key Laboratory of Endocrinology of National Health Commission, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China.
Background: There is a lack of clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of transitioning from a thrice-daily pre-mixed insulin or basal-prandial regimen to insulin deglu-dec/aspart (IDegAsp) therapy, with insufficient data from the Chinese popu-lation.
Aim: To demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction associated with the transition to IDegAsp in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: In this 12-week open-label, non-randomized, single-center, pilot study, patients with T2DM receiving thrice-daily insulin or intensive insulin treatment were transitioned to twice-daily injections of insulin IDegAsp.

Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Haidian Hospital, Beijing 100080, China.
Background: Treating diabetes in dialysis patients remains a challenge, with many hypoglycemic drugs requiring dose adjustments or avoidance in these patients.
Case Summary: This report describes an 83-year-old female patient with a 30-year history of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who had struggled to control her blood sugar for more than a year. She had a history of high blood pressure for 30 years, had undergone continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for more than two years, was 163 cm tall, weighed 77 kg, and had a body mass index of 28.
Intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1: A new regulator of impaired counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Department of Gastroenterology, The First People's Hospital of Foshan, Foshan 528000, Guangdong Province, China.
In this article, we review the study by Jin , which examined the role of intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). With the global rise of T1DM, there is an increased burden on society and healthcare systems. Due to insulin therapy and islet dysfunction, T1DM patients are highly vulnerable to severe hypoglycemia, a leading cause of mortality.
